Honestly I am still curious about Orochimaru. He apparently has his own place now and everyone can just visit him casually. Makes me wonder if he got punished at all for any of his crimes prior to the war.

here's an interesting speculation someone pointed out after chapter 2. Kishimoto apparently said that Salada's eyes were part of the reason Sasuke was away. Perhaps as a baby Salada was kidnapped by Orochimaru and her eyes were replaced. This new guy with the Sharingan is actually using Salada's eyes which Orochimaru had implanted for experimentation purposes.

then again why are all the people in the village hiding things from Sarada? Because of....reasons?

I'm wondering if there were complications with her birth. If she was stillborn but Sakura managed to save her after days of trying and everyone trying to get her to give up for her own sanity or something, for example, it'd be awkward for any of the others who knew of the circumstances to even remember it, let alone tell the girl the truth.

that's a good call. I could see sakura going out her way to save sasuke and karin's kid because she is literally that pathetically in love with sasuke. clearly there is a mystery going on involving salada's eyes and the eyes of this new character. if her eyes were stolen at birth, perhaps she was also left for dead and sasuke or karin brought her to sakura to save her. it's actually a pretty good mystery story despite many people hating on it.

Yet she walks around wearing an Uchiha logo on her back...

the story was never logical about keeping jinchuurikis or secret ninjas hidden, safe and protected in villages so I'm glad that it's staying consistent...

Considering Naruto knows exactly where Orochimaru is and they haven't done anything about him, i'm assuming they are probably on good terms with him now

I really don't think Sakura would need to be pathetically in love with Sasuke to go out of her way to save their kid. She's a doctor, sasuke is a friend, and its the life of a baby; all good reasons and she would only need one of them.

Actually one of my hopes is that sakura DOESN'T love sasuke anymore and that Sarada is Karin's daughter. With Karin "gone" and Sasuke running off, Sakura decides to raise Sarada herself. The whole thing about her and sasuke being her parents is just sakura making an attempt to give Sarada some semblance of a normal childhood... Might be easier on the kid to have atleast one parent in her life and think her dad's "busy" than to tell her that she is effectively an orphan (Being ophraned worked baddly for Sasuke, and though Naruto turned out well, being a orphan did a number on him in his young life). Ya Sakura would be lying to her, and you could argue she's wrong, but it would be with the best of intentions... Looking out for Sarada's well being at her own expense when she has no obligation to do so would show a certain level of love, care and inner strength from Sakura. Plus Sakura no longer being in love with Sasuke would be a plus for her character; sad she didn't find someone else, but she's better off alone than holding a torch for a jerk who never deserved her affection.

Sure. I didn't quite mean it like that. I meant more in context of the overall story. For instance, people are wondering if Sakura married and had a kid with Sasuke. If the answer is no and instead she saved and raised his child from another woman, then that's pretty pathetic and ironically fits right in line with her character.

for the record, I think Salada is Sasuke and Sakura's daughter and this mystery is just a red herring quest for Salada to discover a relationship with her father (and hopefully her mother but we'll see... it is Sakura after all).

My only guess is that they want to keep the focus off Boruto for the movie's sake... Which is a disappointment since the two things I'm more interested on are: whether Boruto has the Byakugan or not and Sasuke... Training Boruto.

Sarado and Sasuke continue the tradition of neglectful shounen fathers does not interest me.

Just read the chapter all I can say is that Sarada is a very interesting character so far. This is good for the Bolt Movie, we get to see how she develope as a character and later on why is she the rival of Bolt in the movie.

Still shipping for BoruSala. Also awaiting Himawari/Sunflower to have some sort of appearance, but I guess she might over shadow Sarada because we all know how popular Hinata is right now and fans are really wild.

Either way the story is interesting I guess next episode father and daughter meet, also kinda found it funny Sarada before stalking Bolt now Naruto from a perspective.
